Workshop Overview
In this immersive, hands-on class, students will learn how to create a pair of beaded fringe earrings using the brick stitch technique. We’ll cover foundational beading skills, pattern reading, and fringe design, with plenty of time to create and personalize each piece. Participants will leave with one completed earring and all materials needed to finish the pair at home.

Beyond technique, this workshop invites you to experience beading as a mindful, creative practice; an opportunity to slow down, breathe, and focus through your hands. Each bead and stitch becomes a rhythm that restores calm and presence.
